Nov 19, 2008 - You have been an inspiration to me so much so I will be getting banded next month. I'm getting mine in Thailand, where I am presently living. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll have similar results! It's awfully hard to be 'rubenesque' in a country full of beautiful skinny twigs (LOL)!

Nov 19, 2008 - Lookin'good! Thanks for the update. We briefly had plus size in the stores at Old Navy in the states; but now they are only available online :( I can't fit their regular 20s b/c they are made for people with slimmer hips.. which I do not have, to say the least. lol!

Nov 19, 2008 - Hi...your vlogs are so honest and very helpful.Where do you (who had surgery in Mexico) go to have your fills? My 7th fill finally worked but for only about 10 days, then I was able to eat like bread again....I go in tomorrow and will ask questions. I think you have a great attitude...all the best, Lori

Nov 19, 2008 - Hahahaha....I will have more soon I hope :0) I would rather give them to someone than to Value Village who profits from them! Hope your well...

Nov 19, 2008 - Thanks, that is really nice to hear. I don't feel like much of an inspriation :0)I LOVE Thailand...where are you living? Bangkok by the sounds of it? I had a hard time with being a "Big Girl" in Thailand....but much easier than Vietnam. I cried almost every day because people would stare and make comments. I feel your pain....it's hard to find clothing as well there.

Nov 19, 2008 - I just bought my first 16 at Old Navy....I truly never thought I would see the day! Too bad they moved everything online for Plus Size because (a) we can't order Old Navy online from Canada, and (b), I find it's the kind of place you have to try things on because they aren't consistant with sizing. Thanks for watching and commenting....talk to you soon~

Nov 19, 2008 - Hey,I have my fills done by a doctor in Canada....but my friend crosses over and goes to the USA to have hers. We live just a few minutes from Washington state. How did things work out with your Dr. appointment? Interested to know what is going on with that. Fills are such a funny thing....I have only had three and I am fairly tight (but again, I really really need one). How long have you had your band?
